I am honored to lead Seagate into the next era of leadership in the storage technology market and I am excited about the opportunities ahead for the company. Seagate has a critical role in storing and securing the world’s data and I am proud of our tremendous global employee organization that works every day to support that effort. I look forward to Steve’s ongoing counsel in the role of Executive chairman,” he said .  

Steve and the board have been actively working towards this transition for the last two years and we are confident that Dave Mosley is the right leader for the company’s future success,” said Mike Cannon, Seagate’s lead independent director and chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. “Dave’s tenure in the storage industry, deep expertise in multiple technologies and broad international experience will enhance Seagate’s competitive position and future opportunities. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Steve for his significant leadership contributions and commitment to shareholder value creation. We look forward to Steve’s ongoing stewardship as executive chairman.”
